Hatred of Rachael Ray can be a powerful uniting force

lol Last time I made bread without my bread machine it was so hard that we used it as a door stop. Now I stick to the bread machine and it comes out good and smells great.

Her hubby was supposedly cavorting around with a Ho doing deviant sex acts.

Rachel Ray is such a sweetie. Why not just start an "I hate Bambi Club"?

[TheBigB]

Dude! Check this out!

I like Rachel Ray, too, but like others have said, sometimes there is just way too much.

What the hell is wrong with these people?
I still love Rachael, but she is indeed reaching media saturation.

At any rate, I am much more partial to Nigella Lawson.

As someone on the link above says, "I challenge someone to find a hotter cook with a cookbook!"

[DarthVader]

Nigella Lawson is awesome!

[Fierce Allegiance]

My favorite: (What can I say, I'm on an italian chick kick lately?)

Rachel, PLEASE tie your hair back. I'd be so afraid to find long hair in any dish she prepared.

These people are bad apples and have too much time on their hands. People united against Sandra Lee too, and it just infuriates me.

Too much hate in this world.

[Constitution Day]

She is a goddess and her accent just tears me up.
My lovely wife is very understanding.

I've gotten some of my best recipes from Food Network, especially Rachel Ray, Giada and Paula Deen.

I agree, they push them too much. There is only so much one human being can accomplish; they need their lives back.

What I don't like is parents who name their kid "Rachael" instead of "Rachel." "Rachel" is the correct spelling, as the transliteration of the Hebrew name. "Rachael" makes no sense linguistically. My guess is that it's an affectation modeled after "Michael." "Michael" does make sense as an English version of a Hebrew name; "Rachael" does not. < /pet peeve>

For some reason, the people on the food network who get popular have a tendency to get majorly over exposed. I used to love Emeril, now I'm sick of him. Rachael Ray is rapidly approaching that point as well. She has what...4 or 5 shows on the food network, plus a talkshow, and now has her name plastered on everything from crackers to pots and pans. Ugh.

[angcat]

I don't like her but I think that is terrible to have a web site like that. It is vicious and cruel. Some people are just jealous of her success.

[DarthVader]

She is a phenomenal cook as well.

[Constitution Day]

Oh, I know this. :)

We make her recipes all the time.

[television is just wrong]

I like her too, I just find her a little tooo happy sometimes for like early in the morning. Don't know why, but just a feeling.

[uncitizen]

I agree with you. A buncha HATERS!

[angcat]

I remember the Sandra Lee Forum they were bad. I believe the Food Network Forums are gone these days. Sandra Lee does cook like crap but she seems like a nice person.
